The Oscar Buzz is in full force as the countdown to the red carpet get’s closer! Let’s talk about the best looks we’ve seen hit the Oscar red-carpet over the years!
My number three look is Sandra Bullock at the 2010 Oscars—the same
Year she won Best Actress for Blindside and split with scandalous
husband, Jesse James—Bullock donned a gorgeous silver
beaded Marchesa gown with an embroidered bodice. Her hair was total
Hollywood Glam, parted on the side with a loosely curled end. Her makeup
was flawless to, with a pink lip and defined eyes—I don’t think Sandy
couldn’t have looked any better.
And number two goes to Reese Witherspoon at the 2007 Oscars—the big
Screen star sported a gorgeous amethyst gown from Nina Ricci’s label.
The gorgeous frock was a showstopper with a fitted bodice that melted into
an elaborate train—The bombshell rocked bangs and straight locks perfect
make up and very little accessories, but with a gown like that, you
don’t need much. This look is hard to beat and definitely is a winner in my
book.
And can I get a drumroll please, my number one best dressed from over the years has to go to the Red Carpet Queen, Angelina Jolie in 2004. She sported a gorgeous ice princess floor length gown by Marc Bouwer and she couldn’t have looked any more stunning. The beauty paired it with a statement necklace, hair pulled back and her signature makeup. No wonder this stunner snagged Brad Pitt.

Already controversial upon its release, Taxi Driver hit the headlines again five years later, when John Hinckley, Jr. , made an assassination attempt on then-President Ronald Reagan. He subsequently blamed his act on his obsession with Jodie Foster’s Taxi Driver character (in the film, De Niro’s character, Travis Bickle, makes an assassination attempt on a senator). Taxi Driver won the Palme d’Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, also receiving four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, although all were unsuccessful. Scorsese was subsequently offered the role of Charles Manson in the movie Helter Skelter and a part in Sam Fuller’s war movie The Big Red One, but he turned both down. However he did accept the role of a gangster in exploitation movie Cannonball directed by Paul Bartel. In this period there were also several directorial projects that never got off the ground including Haunted Summer, about Mary Shelley and a film with Marlon Brando about the Indian massacre at Wounded Knee. The critical success of Taxi Driver encouraged Scorsese to move ahead with his first big-budget project: the highly stylized musical New York, New York. This tribute to Scorsese’s home town and the classic Hollywood musical was a box-office failure. New York, New York was the director’s third collaboration with Robert De Niro, co-starring with Liza Minnelli (a tribute and allusion to her father, legendary musical director Vincente Minnelli). The film is best remembered today for the title theme song, which was popularized by Frank Sinatra. Although possessing Scorsese’s usual visual panache and stylistic bravura, many critics felt its enclosed studio-bound atmosphere left it leaden in comparison to his earlier work. The disappointing reception New York, New York received drove Scorsese into depression. By this stage the director had also developed a serious cocaine addiction. However, he did find the creative drive to make the highly regarded The Last Waltz, documenting the final concert by The Band. It was held at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, and featured one of the most extensive lineups of prominent guest performers at a single concert, including Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Paul Butterfield, Ronnie Wood and Van Morrison. However, Scorsese’s commitments to other projects delayed the release of the film until 1978. Another Scorsese-directed documentary entitled American Boy also appeared in 1978, focusing on Steven Prince, the cocky gun salesman who appeared in Taxi Driver. A period of wild partying followed, damaging the director’s already fragile health. Scorsese also helped provide footage for the documentary Elvis on Tour, a documentary about the legendary performer Elvis Presley. By several accounts (Scorsese’s included), Robert De Niro practically saved Scorsese’s life when he persuaded Scorsese to kick his cocaine addiction to make his highly regarded film, Raging Bull. Convinced that he would never make another movie, he poured his energies into making this violent biopic of middleweight boxing champion Jake La Motta, calling it a Kamikaze method of film-making. The film is widely viewed as a masterpiece and was voted the greatest film of the 1980s by Britain’s Sight & Sound magazine. It received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Robert De Niro, and Scorsese’s first for Best Director. De Niro won, as did Thelma Schoonmaker for editing, but Best Director went to Robert Redford for Ordinary People. Raging Bull, filmed in high contrast black and white, is where Scorsese’s style reached its zenith: Taxi Driver and New York, New York had used elements of expressionism to replicate psychological points of view, but here the style was taken to new extremes, employing extensive slow-motion, complex tracking shots, and extravagant distortion of perspective (for example, the size of boxing rings would change from fight to fight). Thematically too, the concerns carried on from Mean Streets and Taxi Driver: insecure males, violence, guilt, and redemption. Although the screenplay for Raging Bull was credited to Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin (who earlier co-wrote Mean Streets), the finished script differed extensively from Schrader’s original draft. It was re-written several times by various writers including Jay (who went on to co-script later Scorsese films The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York). The final draft was largely written by Scorsese and Robert De Niro. The American Film Institute chose Raging Bull as the #1 sports film on their list of the top 10 sports films. Scorsese’s next project was his fifth
